hilary white does plastic & light.

as one third owner of the toothless cat gallery here in good ol' philly, i have the privilege to be sent work by artists looking to show at our space. recently i was sent the work of local artist hilary white, and was completely floored. (i love it when that happens, especially around the cusp of fall when the prospect of newness takes over everyone//thing) her work seems to be collage like in theory, but instead of paper, she uses an interesting mix of plastic/wood/paint & light to create these glorious wall sculptures. in her artist statement she talks about being motivated to straddle the idea of art being used for religious purposes as well as personal. i'm very interested to see her work in person & to hopefully show her next year. in the meantime, if you live in philly, you can check her work out at ven & vaida.

Today is the grand opening of The Piazza @ Schimdt's  as well as the grand opening of 'The Toothless Cat' gallery! I'll have more posted soon!

the toothless cat

this weekend marks the opening of the project i've been working on for a while now, the opening of 'The Toothless Cat' at The Piazza at Schmidt's in northern liberties. the gallery is owned my myself, Jason Goldberg and Dave Fox, both of whom are amazing painters as well as renown tattoo artists. the opening show 'The Magnificent Egress' features work from over 40 artists, many of whom are tattoo artists as well. the theme is hybrid animals and the work looks amazing! The gallery will also be home to my line of jewelry, 'blood milk'. the grand opening is this Saturday, from 11 in the afternoon to 11 at night. 
also this weekend is the opening of 'hand did' at mew gallery, featuring local artists including one of my favorites, the lovely kris chau, who will have a bunch of black and white pieces like the one below for sale. if you're in the philly area, swing by the both of these events!
